    Rockets up 57-53 at half as Pelicans shot 60.9% in 2Q. Dwight Howard had 11p, 6r and a block. Harden 11p, TJones 10p, Lin 9p. -clutch

    starters visibly slowed down when they played in the 2nd qtr. They were quite cohesive st the start of the game.

    Man, I don't know what DMo is trying to do. For one, he's not shooting 3s; he's just passing the ball.

    When we are able to get the ball to Howard, he's been crowded but still able to get some shots in.

    Maybe the emphasis on inside game has some players hesitant to let the 3s go, including Parsons.

    Whoever said we need to dump Asik for a power forward should be hung by their toes. Right now we have two very capable (and still developing) power forwards meanwhile we have NO interior defense when Howard is out of the game. No brainer. Keep Asik.

    Not to knee jerk...but DMo looks no less lost than he did last year. I doubt he's going to be the starting 4 come regular season.

    Thats a bit extreme. He is adjusting to a new role. He'll come around.

    D12 looks good in pnr's and is getting up and down the floor well.
    Don't remember JLins TO's
    TJones has looked better IMO

    Just finished church...(Sunday morning in Australia)...came here for the knee-Jerks, but surprisingly very few.

    Praying for lots of highlights & going to find a replay somewhere on the World Wide Web!

    Go Rockets!!

    He still gets caught in traffic. Too small a sample size to really determine if he's improved in TO but it doesn't look like it.

    He has improved his defense by a mile though. He darts out for steals but is able to recover almost perfectly. That's rare and could place him in high regards with the coaching staff.

    Doesn't look like his offense game improved much. Shooting form not quite there yet.

    Parsons has done nothing in this game so far.

    JLins TOs werent the smack my forehead kind so I'll let him go for the ones so far.
    But anymore and I'm sure there'll be a riot here.
    Over the off season I nearly forgot how great Harden is. Silly me.

    Individually, Jones looks better. But in terms of team play DMo looks better. DMo's passing and ball movement were a part of possibly 50% of the Rox's first unit scores.

    Not worried of Jlin's offensive game. Defense looks on point.

    I really like Jones, at least he's doing something unlike D-Mo
